SDCC: Wednesday and Thursday panel schedules

San Diego Comic-Con released their programming schedule for Wednesday and Thursday. You don’t need to be there to follow along. Here is a list of TV and film panels you should pay attention to!

It’s that time a year again. San Diego Comic-Con is almost here and as usual, there is an exciting slate of panels to look forward to over the course of the five-day entertainment and comic convention. If you managed to get tickets to SDCC, then you’re probably busy packing a survival kit. But if you’re aren’t so lucky, you will probably be following along from the couch. So how can you get in on the fun from home?

Gone are the days where you had to be in attendance to enjoy all the news and footage coming out of SDCC panels. Thanks to social media, anyone can follow along. The tip is to finds websites that live-stream or social media accounts that post panel details in real-time. Twitter is a very useful resource in finding accounts that live-tweet what’s going on in the panel. Look for industry experts, studios, or key hashtag to follow along.

Cameras or live-stream footage is not often permitted during the panel. But that doesn’t mean you will miss out on the action. Unless it is an exclusive SDCC look, trailers and footage are usually released directly after the panel ends. Sometimes the full panels will even hit YouTube. As for what TV and film-centric panels to keep an eye out for, here is our list:
